:You have put the wrong location in <realtimeURL> -- see above.  To test your location of the realtime.txt file, try using a web browser ... So in our example, <realtimeURL> is set to http://www.sanday.org.uk/weather/realtime.txt so surf to http://www.sanday.org.uk/weather/realtime.txt and you should see a long string of data.  If you do not, your location is wrong so check where you are uploading your [[realtime.txt]]

:Leave the page open and it may load.  When Cumulus RealTime loads it waits for the number of seconds specified in the <interval> secton on the xml file.  If you have this set to 30, the loading message will stay on screen for the first 30 seconds.  You may want to reduce this to something like 5, even if your station does not update the realtime as often it will at least update the screen every 5 seconds with the same data.  This has little impact on bandwidth as the sizes of the realtime file is tiny.
